Iron tea pot came without handle attached

I received a lovely case iron teapot for Christmas. The handle was not attached to the teapot, just laying on top. I can’t figure out how to attach it. Any suggestions?

you can’t post pics directly to steeptser. but you can put them on something like instagram or photobucket then post a link. i just thought a pic might help to see how the handle would go on. do you know where the teapot came from, the company, etc?

I put a photo on the Steepster Facebook page

Steepster has a Facebook page? I have been in here every day for almost four years and didn’t know that?

I took a peek. Are their holes just below where the lid sits? It looks like it in the pic. Look at this one from Teavana

mmm. that is odd.
I own a genuine iwachu tetsubin, and the handle cannot be taken from the pot (or taken off to be replaced), in fact, you’ll need an elephant to get it off.
